Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp dried hijiki seaweed
1 cup water
12 oz firm tofu
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce or 1 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 medium carrots , julienned
3 scallions, sliced thinly, sprinkled with
1/8 tsp sea salt, and pressed lightly

Directions:

In a small saucepan, soak hijiki for 10 minutes.
Once rehydrated, simmer the seaweed uncovered for 20 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, drain the tofu and slice the cake horizontally.
Place between sheets of paper towels and put on a cutting board with a heavy weight atop the tofu to press away excess water.
A cast iron skillet or heavy book is ideal.
Drain the tofu for at least 15 minutes.
Cut into cubes and brown evenly on all sides using 1 tabblespoon of sesame oil.
Remove from pan and sprinkle with tamari.
Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, ginger, and salt.
